Best Bets | Youth and freedom

Louisville Youth Orchestra members.

No matter where on the political spectrum you stood during the election, many people did agree that the freedoms guaranteed in this country are valued. At 4 p.m. Sunday, the Louisville Youth Orchestra will be in tune with that sentiment, playing music inspired by freedom in the program "Finding Freedom." Four of the group's ensembles will play works by Copland, Sibelius, Mahler, Fletcher and others at the Brown Theatre, 315 W. Broadway.

America's freedom will be represented by Copland's Lincoln Portrait, which presents music meant to embody the words of Abraham Lincoln, including the Gettysburg Address and the Emancipation Proclamation. Also on the program is Sibelius' Symphony No. 2, written at the turn of the 20th century when Finnish people lived under Russian sanctions on their language and culture.

For more information, call (502) 587-7777 or visit www.kentuckycenter.org or www.lyo.org.
